IoT Project (Equipment Monitoring and Control)

(Customer is a Japan company)

Features:

  • Equipment Monitoring: Equipment data is collected with RS232 and Modbus protocol, with those data we can monitor equipment progress and current status or anything can be collected
  • Ability: 1 pc can connect up to 100 or more equipment, every 100 milliseconds, system will show new data
  • Set Control Parameters: By setup parameters we can control the equipment, run or stop, which process and process parameters

Develop:

  • Short Time: 1 month
  • Service: Use remote connection tool to update

IoT other solution:

  • PLC: If the target has PLC, we can connect to PLC by network or cables, with the support of PLC control data point and code, we can request data from PLC, save into database for calculation and used on Kanban Board or Report
  • Add Data Collection Devices: If no control system on equipment or facilities, we may have to add some devices to collect data, for example, we can add a counter device and collect quantity from production lines, and use a network device to send data periodically to database
  • Equipment Cloud Data Center: More and more equipment are upgraded which have the data collection function, data will be collected equipment to use or send to a cloud data center, we can check with manufacturers ask for those data
